I thought I would let everyone know how things have been going.

Christina, Daniel and I are all doing well. Christina is tired and ready for school to be out. She has been undergoing a great deal of dental work. They are pulling some teeth, fillings, corns and dentures.

Daniel will be 3 in December. He is still trying to get the hang of this potty training stuff. He has been talking a lot and singing: Jesus loves me, the B-I-B-L-E, the wheels on the bus. He is really excited about Christmas and loves Christmas trees. He has already opened one of his gifts and we rewrapped it.

We are approaching the final weeks of our fall semester at ABC. I have learned many great things about God, the Bible, myself, American history, speech, grammar and missions; however, I am a little disappointed in myself this semester, because I have not worked as hard as I have in the past. I have sat under, I believe, one of the greatest professors so far in my college experience. She has taught me so much and has been a great challenge to me in my spiritual life.

We recently joined Tabernacle Baptist Church, which is where we feel is going to be a great place to worship, grow and serve. The pastor and his family are wonderful examples to all. His sermons are powerful, challenging and thought provoking and he loves the lost and has a vision. He has been on several mission trips to help train national pastors in India. Most importantly they pray for and support our ministries.

My family and I have been holding worship services at Eden Terrace Assistant Living Home for about six months. We have thoroughly enjoyed this ministry and have seen a lot of fruit. We have an average of 10-15 in attendance each week and have seen at least one profession of faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. I preached a sermon called,"The self-righteous Pharisee and the humble publican" and challenged them to come to me after the service and tell me if they had trust Jesus as their savior. After there service, Gene, one of the faithful ladies came to me and told me that she had trusted Jesus as her personal savior.

This work is challenging physically, spiritually and emotionally. A few residents are in their mid to late nineties and a few are 100. Some of them have Alzheimer or Dementia and are slowing losing their memory. It is painful to build relationships with them and then watch them slowly go down hill. I have learned so much about God, the Bible, preaching and evangelism in these past six months.

We are planning to be in Mobile, Alabama to visit family friends from December 12-22. Please pray that God would open the door for us to go and that he will keep us safe as we travel.
